Meshuggah attempted to create an organic album and they have succeeded. Koloss sounds like
it came from the heart of an ancient temple at the depths of a dark jungle. This album
proves that Meshuggah are an ancient alien species whose only purpose is to mindfuck the
human race.

While not totally living up to the hype or previous releases, Koloss is a true Meshuggah album, and a true Meshuggah album is always a great album.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Obzen so this is a pleasant surprise. Here on Koloss Meshuggah have tempered their technical grove with a more natural less cluttered production creating an album that still sounds just like what one would expect from an album by the Swedish metal juggernaut, but is just a hair less demanding of a listen. Koloss doesn't dethrone Destroy Erase Improve and Catch Thirty-Three as my favorites but it still rips just as hard.

Meshuggah is back, and they are heavier than ever. Glad to hear for the first time their isn't a song or two
that I would skip rather than listen to. Their most coherent album to date.

I've tried to like this album. It's just terribly boring compared to their previous work.

Koloss combines the pound and power of Nothing with the immersive soundscapes of Chaosphere and it works. Koloss also fails to demonstrate anything radically new for this band, at a time when djent is exploding aimlessly, and it stagnates. The music is all good, but at the same time I think we were all expecting a little more.

Meshuggah say bye bye to the faggy djent movement as they slay the clowns who like periphery and the other knockoff bands. Like holy damn this grooves as hard as Nothing but has beast songwriting like on DEI. Even fade knows this is good

Meshuggah show why they are the masters of the genre and why every other band trying to ape them is second-rate. The first listen itself put a big smile in me from ear to ear.

Meshuggah has very quickly become one of my favorite bands with their intricate, grinding rhythms; quirky jazz leads; odd, but thought provoking lyrics. I love this band. This album is their best to date.

Gotta think if there are gonna be any changes from this leaked version to the actual... some of Tomas' toms seem a little fucked. Overall killer album on first listen, and everyone knows a Meshuggah album is only uphill from here.

The masters are back and destroying all of the meek djent bands in their wake....Meshuggah does it best, fuck the rest! Best songs: Behind the Sun, Demigure, Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave it Motion.

While it may not be the most impressive release of their career, Meshuggah gives another consistent effort with "Koloss," their latest studio effort. This record is full of the usual stuff we are so used to with this band, like the awesomely heavy riffs, lots of technical instrumentation, and of course the dark lyrics that you get with a Meshuggah record. The only thing I felt this record fell on its ass on was its guitar solos (Devil's Name is still up there for worst solo of the year) and like of trying anything new. Overall, still a great releases by one of the most consistent metal bands around.

Meshuggah is a hard band for me to rate, at times I can't stand the repetitiveness of the music, then others I can't get enough of their
special brand of death. This album falls somewhere between Catch Thirtythree and Obzen for me. 3.6/5

Maybe it is just because this is my first experience with the band, but all the songs here seemed to drag much longer than they should have, even when they were short. Some progression would be appreciated from a progressive band.

This is the best album in a long while, pretty consistent overall, and it's certainly leagues ahead of ObZen. "The Demon's Name Is Surveillance" may be my favorite single song since Stengah. Really digging everything about this album.

Like all Meshuggah albums this is somewhat boring at times but it still riffs harder than Periphery. The Demon's Name Is Surveillance really does.
